Miranda Lambert varies the way she picks each chord. That will take a little
improv or you could play
just the chords, or follow the basic style that each finger picking section is based
off of which I have
tabbed right here. Make sure you use the chords the way they are written here because
the low E string is now a D.

D F#m
I know they say you can't go home again
I just had to come back one last time
G
Ma'am, I know you don't know me from Adam
D A
But these hand prints on the front steps are mine
D
Up those stairs in that little back bedroom
F#m
Is where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar
G
And I bet you didn't know under that live oak
D A
My favorite dog is buried in the yard
G D
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
Em D
This brokenness inside me might start healing
G
Out here it's like I'm someone else
Bm G
I thought that maybe I could find myself
D G
If I could just come in, I swear I'll leave
D
Won't take nothing but a memory
A D
From the house that built me
D
Mama cut out pictures of houses for years
F#m
From "Better Homes and Garden" magazines
G
Plans were drawn and concrete poured
And nail by nail and board by board
D A
Daddy gave life to mama's dream
G D
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
Em D
This brokenness inside me might start healing
G
Out here it's like I'm someone else
Bm G
I thought that maybe I could find myself
D G
If I could just come in, I swear I'll leave
D
Won't take nothing but a memory
A D
From the house that built me
Bm
You leave home, you move on
D
And you do the best you can
Em
I got lost in this whole world
G A
And forgot who I am
G D
I thought if I could touch this place or feel it
Em D
This brokenness inside me might start healing
G
Out here it's like I'm someone else
Bm G
I thought that maybe I could find myself
D G
If I could walk around, I swear I'll leave
D
Won't take nothing but a memory
A D
From the house that built me
